Casey Krueger scored in the 12th minute of second half stoppage time and the Washington Spirit tied the Utah Royals 3-3 on Saturday night in the National Women’s Soccer League.
Krueger subbed into the match at halftime with the score 3-2. The dramatic late equalizer was Krueger’s first goal for the Spirit in 364 days.
The Spirit were seconds away from a third consecutive home defeat at Audi Field before the 34-year-old defender headed home from a Tara McKeown cross in the 102nd minute.
In Saturday’s other NWSL games, the Seattle Reign defeated Racing Louisville 1-0 in a match that was set for Friday night but postponed because of severe weather, the North Carolina Courage beat the Chicago Stars 2-0, and Bay FC edged Angel City 2-0.
